Now it is just on hiatus?
Now I am glad I didn't actually miss anything, but...
Seriously????! After just two episodes????!
Has some sort of insanity virus hit the TV branch of DC or Cartoon Network because it sure looks that way.
[EDIT] Okay, so it's definitely Cartoon Network that has flipped its wig and gone senile upon reaching its ripe old age.
At least I still have Doctor Who.
Oh....wait....hiatus.

To Sleep, perchance To Dream. The computer in Logan's Run was correct. Life after 30 isn't worth the trouble. Old age is a literal pain.

I just realized something really idiotic/ironic, if the January return date for DC Nations on Cartoon Network occurs after January 22, episode 10 of Young Justice will have already been released on DVD by then (if Warner Home Video keeps its initial released date unchanged): http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/20...n-dvd-release/

Wait, are you blaming the MLP show or commiserating how Cartoon Network treats its licensed shows worse than The Hub does its shows? Originally Posted by DeadXMan

Ya know, Cartoon Network screwing over DC cartoons dates at least as far back as the Justice League cartoon. DC's owned by freakin' time warner, so why haven't they wised up and put some damn clause in their contracts to prevent this?

Or is it just that Cartoon Network has come to fear success and will destroy anything successful while keeping garbage like Destroy Build Destroy and Dude What Would Happen on the air far longer than they deserve. By which I mean longer than than minus one episode.
Hell, they screwed over Samurai Jack, Megas XLR, Justice League, etc."When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."

I am really starting to DESPISE Cartoon Network's decision making. They are always cancelling good programming (i.e. Sym Bionic Titans, ThunderCats and Samurai Jack) and replacing it with foolishness like The Annoying Orange and The Problem Solverz. However, it's a blessing to know that DC Nation isn't actually cancelled though. BTW I can't help but lol at the 'fear the ponies' statement.
